what the crazy!

ok this is a quickie...

first of all i'm not dead. I'm still here. Here in Toulouse we are having the hardest time nailing down a schedule. normally things are very cut well the same in most cities. Get up 6:30 bed 10:30. toujour le meme. always the same. but here life is just well...plein. Full. We have so much going on that we sqeeze in the personal time when we can. Right now it is Thursday night at 8:40pm. crazy.

So Charles Didier, a really cool guy came and spoke to our mission. For those of you not au currant with the Church he is a big wig. President of the quorum of the 70 to be exact. he's from france so he spoke to us in french. coolest thing is when my mission president was a missionary here, President Didier was his mission president. this making sense? I have about 4 minutes to explain my week but still be clever and entertaining. not going to work i'm afraid...

so basically, i'm good. Nov 4 means there is only 1 year left of this crazy dress wearing life. Fast huh? I bought my first french scarf today. i'm so trendy.

i'm really feeling the pain of being molded. I can feel the Lord chipping away at my flaws and unnecessary weaknesses. I can literally feel the refiners fire. It hurts. But it's good. It's working. Life's rough.

I love you all. I'm good. Transfers are in a week and a few days. I'll keep you posted. I've had some dreams about transfers. We'll see if I'm right. ok love you.
